The film 'Cop Car' stars Kevin Bacon as a Sheriff Kretzer. He doesn't say much during the movie, but he still dominates the screen.

'Cop Car' is about two young boys who go for a walk in the Colorado countryside and stumble upon a sheriff's patrol car that has been abandoned.

They horse around in it, pretend to drive it in a high speed chase and then they find the keys. And so, they take it for a spin. They soon find out the officer whose car they took is no ordinary cop.

The cop in question is Sheriff Kretzer played by actor Kevin Bacon. He doesn't say much but he still dominates the screen. He joined us recently to talk more about starring in a film with so little dialogue.
